Tomato for Skin: The Natural Key to Radiant, Acne-Free Skin

🔧 Step-by-Step Method:

Step 1: Clean and Prep
Wash the tomato thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean towel. Make sure your hands and tools are clean to avoid any contamination.

Step 2: Extract the Pulp
Cut the tomato in half and scoop out the pulp with a spoon into a bowl. You can also blend the tomato for a smoother consistency.

Step 3: Add Other Ingredients
Add 1 teaspoon of honey to the tomato pulp. If your skin can tolerate lemon juice (do a patch test first), add 1 teaspoon for added acne-fighting benefits.

Step 4: Mix Well
Stir the ingredients together until you get a consistent paste. The mixture should not be too runny.

Step 5: Apply to Face
Use your fingers or a clean brush to apply the mask evenly to your face, avoiding the eyes. Gently massage it in circular motions for 1-2 minutes to stimulate blood circulation and help the nutrients penetrate.

Step 6: Let it Sit
Leave the mask on for 10–15 minutes. You may feel a slight tingling sensation—this is normal due to the natural acids working on your skin.

Step 7: Rinse Off
Wash your face with lukewarm water and pat dry. Follow up with a light moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.

📅 How Often Should You Use It?

Oily or Acne-Prone Skin: 2–3 times a week
Normal to Dry Skin: Once a week (skip lemon if your skin is sensitive)

⚠️ Tips and Precautions

Always do a patch test before applying the mask to your face, especially if you’re using lemon juice.
Avoid using this mask on broken or very sensitive skin.
Don’t overuse—while tomatoes are gentle, the natural acids can irritate your skin if used too frequently.
